Allies

[zachmaio]

I guess I never really thought about the actual value of the allies because most of what they contribute is mediocre at best. The sidekicks are a little more useful in my opnion because they can give you extra health and what not. But when it comes down to it I think that every little bit helps when you're going against someone else.

I just like the way having an allie feels..its a flying frog game which is all about the story..so even if they aren't ridiculously helpful they still add a lot to the gameplay for me.

But to answer your question I don't think they're more helpful in a competitve game than they are in a cooperative game
